HOw to get more than 6 consoles in Bullseye
Hi,
I know this isn't strictly an accessibility issue but I'm sure many of us
do this.
I like to use 24 consoles. But I just installed BullsEye on a VM and I
can't figure out how to get any more than the default 6.
* I tried setting NAutoVTs=24 in /etc/systemd/logind.conf
* I tried setting ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-24]" in
/etc/default/console-setup but the documentation for this file is very
limited and the correct format to use is not obvious for numbers greater
than 9.
* /etc/inittab doesn't seem to exist anymore in Debian
Unsurprisingly, searching for help on this doesn't give many relevant
answers.
I did add XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch" to /etc/default/keyboard to
activate the right alt key, but I don't expect this to do anything until
there are more than 12 consoles available.
Any and all help welcome.
Cheers,
Geoff.
